	There appears to be a large jump (as in more than doubling) of XP required per level between 20 and 21. Is this correct, and if so why? -[[User:Actual-nh\|Actual-nh]] ([[User talk:Actual-nh\|talk]]) 22:55, 28 April 2021 (UTC)		There appears to be a large jump (as in more than doubling) of XP required per level between 20 and 21.

			FIQHack (and thus by proxy xNetHack) uses a piecewise function and was designed to make it easier to reach XL30 naturally while not making it too easy (i.e. dNetHack). I didn't focus on making a pretty curve, but more on gameplay experience. So yes, it is (sort of) intentional. --[[User:FIQ\|FIQ]] ([[User talk:FIQ\|talk]]) 10:40, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Also, would be a good idea add an Strategy section discussing about how exactly you can "control" monsters level. I'm not sure, but when I've entered the Mines with lvl 1, I only saw Gnomes (for 3 games) and when I've reached lvl 3 before Mines, I saw a lot of dwarfs too wich gave me mithril armour.

			== determining experience level while polymorphed ==

			If you spend most of your game polymorphed in various good fighter forms, you'll have a hard time telling if you're ready for the quest. Some methods, hopefully complete:
			* "Welcome to level foo" -- obvious, but hard to produce.
			* Spell failure rates. You do know your failure rate, stats, gear, and role. A [http://nethack.gridbug.de/spells.html spell failure rate calculator] lets you solve the inverse problem.

			Less practical for a speed run:
			* Rehumanize, or feel like a new elf.
			* Level-dependent intrinsics could be tested for, including teleport at will (xp8 / xp12).
			* Your quest leader will tell you your rank title (and waste your time).

			A stethoscope or a wand of probing will not work, telling you your polyform's base level instead. Are there any other methods?
